NewEra,
just thought of something for you to test. When you check you lugs are you getting voltage to them. I assume you are using 120/240volt, single phase on the inside control box dial setting, and L1,L3,single phase on the panel setting voltage dial. You should have about 110volts on each...
dependable, I was just trying to clean up all the bits and bobs that did not work. The lights are all that is left. I could not load test until the electrician was here to test with me and make sure i had wired it right. He was actually pretty jealous of the generator especially as i only...
NewEra, the switch does work, it is the push to test light that does not work. I did the continuity test on the switch and it worked fine. When i hooked it up to the house and closed the circuit the lugs were hot and had plenty of current ended up pushing 48 amps with the AC's running. The...
i used a manual transfer switch. still no lights, but oh well no idea why they do not work, but the rest of it does so just going to ignore them for now. I also replaced the oil, temp and fuel gauges with gauges with the following: http://www.boatersland.com/faria-euro.html. You need a 100...
Replaced them already. But the good news is the generator is on and working fine. I have the entire house connected and running on it. Ran for 30 minutes no issues at about 60% load with one 3 ton one 2 ton and a mini split plus fridge and water heater with no issues.
Very happy.

Okay followed the test in 2-27.2 and voltage regulator worked as expected. Also checked voltage at the lugs and they were good. Tomorrow we load it up to check current and see if the old boy can run the house.

yes that is the next step i believe. The ac interrupt push to test is failing to light up as is the battle short push to test. The system does come up and is running well small fluctuations at the voltage and hertz less than 2 hertz and 5 volts but i have not tested loading up the lugs yet...
Okay so i tested the switch for ac interrupter and the battle short switch per the manual both test working.
I was still looking for some guidance on this test as will try it tonight:

How is this test done do i need to run it to test it...
use this manual http://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-9-6115-642-24.pdf
section 2-50 and 2-51 i am going to try this tomorrow on pages 2-78. Hoping it is not this issue:

or...
As they are identical symptomsI thought I would piggy back on the issue. No neither of the press to test light up.
I will test the switch based on the techincal manual and update. but as both are not working i am concerned it is not the switch.
All,
I have the same issue. I have the generator running well all new fluids and filters now. It is showing voltage and hertz. I am not connected to the house yet and i am getting power to the convenience receptacle. But neither the circuit interrupter nor the battle short test lights are...
